    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    Are kidding me about the roads around here ? I'm posting this from the Seattle DOT. As you can see our roads can get as high as 26 percent . As far as the brakes on a deuce go, upgrade to the dual brake system. Then the brakes will be just the same as your RAM truck.

    A CDL will at least make you take classes on safety, that was my whole point.

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    I can see this thread has degenerated into a pissing contest. Since I'm old and my prostate is always upset that makes me the winner here since I'm sure I piss more then all of you ! You can tow almost anything but like has been said repeatedly here can you do it safely ? Can you control the...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    This hitch is pretty much a class 3 hitch. My class five hitch is 4'' square tube 1/4" thick walls with 3/8" thick side plates and 3/8" thick support plates. The towbar pin is nice though.

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    You can see from this chart straight from the Chevy website that the "heaviest" truck weighs 6,524 Ibs. You subtract the max payload weight from the GVWR weight. To be really accurate you would also subtract the weight of all passengers and fuel. That would bring the actual weight to around...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    I realize this wasn't directed at me, but although not current I have had a class A CDL with hazmat and doubles endorsement. I didn't suddenly forget everything when my driving no longer required the CDL. Your posts are usually quite informative and I've actually learned quite a bit from you on...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    You can have the best brakes in the world, but if you don't have the weight to handle the load then the load will handle you ! Your 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks weigh how much on average ? Around 5,000 Ibs. You load a M105 trailer and your looking at 4,000 Ibs. Now who is going to stop who here ...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    If you want real drama try towing that trailer here in Washington with all our little hills like the Cascade Mountains ! Then you would find out real fast that your little truck was no match for that loaded trailer ! There are reasons that different areas have different laws regarding who can...
